Thanks, I found the solution. The name of the bad mailbox wasn't in fact empty, but a single blank character which the cyradm and quota commands dutifully removed as "leading blank" in their output. So localhost> sam "user/ " cyrus all localhost> dm "user/ " was what it took to get rid of the mailbox with the "empty" name, and localhost> sam "user/ 10000" cyrus all localhost> dm "user/ 10000" took care of the second one created by the hapless colleague's setquota command.
